About this work

This black-and-white image shows an empty concert hall. Rows of identical seats face a stage with a piano and a few simple props. The walls are plain, and the lights hang from the ceiling like chandeliers. The stage curtains are drawn closed, and the whole space looks quiet and ready for a show. The text at the bottom says it’s a "Symphonie 'Zone Absolue'" created by Jacques Charlier in 1970. It’s not just a drawing—it’s mixed with handwritten notes and typewritten words, making it feel like a sketch and a score at once. Want to see more like this?
